Sommerrodelbahn Gutach

Not that clean

Very well located hotel right in front of Strasbourg station, and easy to access all the best that Strasbourg has to offer. The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the property and their city. The breakfast was delicious, all made in-house, in a nice room with some cheery budgerigars. The room was large and clean, with a comfy bed. My negative comments could be applied to other hotels we stayed in on this trip too: 1) The vogue for dark interiors and fancy lighting schemes makes for very dark rooms. Even the lighting in the bathroom made it difficult to see properly in the mirror. 2) We were given one of the wheelchair friendly rooms, so the low clothes shelf meant we had to bend right down to get access to the hanging rail which was also in near-darkness. The accessible shower had no screen or curtain so we had a lot of escaped water on our bathroom floor. The extra height of the WC means it is harder to reach the floor with your feet and in turn (sorry to get graphic) empty your bowels properly. I understand the need for these rooms and that often there are quotas in building codes, but they are not always very "accessible" for people not in wheelchairs. I now understand why my 80 yr old father-in-law refused to stay in one recently. 3) Blue or white LEDs on AC units/Phones/TVs/Control units light the room up completely at 3am. They should be banned. I have to go around covering them up with socks.

They phoned me at noon to tell me it was time to check out. Friendliness ?
